This update from the Harald Lück GEO Status meeting in September 2004 in Hannover/Ruthe highlights the installation status of an interferometer with dual recycling mode cleaner. Changes include the installation of suspended output optics, HPD in a separate vacuum vessel, and a new sensor for MI length control. The meeting discussed the installation of a 2f local oscillator and new gain distribution in MI length control. Further steps for the GEO600 project involve repairing leaks in the central building, setting up a new office container, and enhancing sensitivity towards S4. Construction work includes adding six desks and common area facilities in the new office container.

Harald Lück GEO Status (Update) ILIAS WG1 meeting, Sep. 2004, Hannover/Ruthe
interferometer with dual recycling mode cleaner 12W laser output mode cleaner detector Installation Status attenuated to 2W MPR ~1% Transmission
Changes since last meeting • installation of suspended output optics • HPD in separate vacuum vessel • new sensor (HPD) for MI length control • 2f local oscillator (optional) • new gain distribution in MI length control
Output MC not installed (yet?) Output optics / vacuum tank high-power diode - TCOc
central building / control room W/O output optics Stomp in Ctrl. room
Laser amplitude noise & stab. Red = Inner and outer loop running Blue = only inner loop running Green = both loops off
ROC- Correction of MFe 71W Optimal Compensation Contrast enhanced
GEO600 next steps • repairing leak in central building • Set up new office container • improve sensitivity towards S4 • increase injected power • increase power recycling factor • lock acquisition might cause problems • simulations and testing needed, maybe OMC required
Central Building new office container 6 desks, common area toillets
GEO600 next steps • repairing leak in central building (almost done) • Set up new office container • improve sensitivity towards S4 • increase injected power • implement segmented heater • increase power recycling factor (300 -> 2000) • lock acquisition might cause problems • simulations and testing needed, maybe OMC required
